I’m so proud to be a member of the new cohort of the Kilroys!

I'm beyond thrilled to join a fresh new gang of fearless badass leaders to carry on the torch until the American theater gets its shit together. The new members are Jaclyn Backhaus, Hilary Bettis, Jennifer Chambers, Claudia de Vasco, Emma Goidel, Christina Ham, Jessica Hanna, Monet Hurst-Mendoza, Obehi Janice, Hansol Jung, Chelsea Marcantel, Caroline V. McGraw (me!), Bianca Sams, and Gina Young. More info available at American Theatre.

A story about the wonders and horrors of second chances.

WHO ARE THESE WOMEN AND IS IT POSSIBLE THEY'RE SAVING THE WORLD?GREAT QUESTION: YES.

Baby No More Times is a pop concert and feminist dance party, like if Carly Rae Jepsen and Betty Friedan collaborated on some dope tracks. Equal parts twerking and thinking, BNMT has graced the stages of the Highline Ballroom, Knitting Factory Brooklyn, Ars Nova, Dixon Place, and the Davenport Theatre since 2014.

The Play: Brandy is the city’s most sought-after birthday party clown, and she’s never let her drinking, gambling, and bed-hopping interfere with her work—until now. Her teenage boyfriend won’t stop calling, her clients are getting needy…and the monster under her bed is growing restless. Weaving fantasy and clowning with brutal reality, Tall Skinny Cruel Cruel Boys asks…what is the price of growing up?

About the play: Danielle, Lee, and Tiffany have scaled the masthead of Crimp magazine, gaining access to the best the city has to offer—nightlife, men, and the beautiful baubles showcased in every issue. But when workaholic Danielle is forced to face her mortality, she begins to wonder what it's all worth. In this dark comedy, questions of romance, sex, ambition, and loyalty spin Danielle and her friends out of control as they consider the possibility of life without each other.

Baby No More Times, your favorite feminist pop concert with the moves of Beyonce and the soul of Gloria Steinem, is back at the Knitting Factory for one night only on January 27. I cowrote the show with Mary Birnbaum and Melissa Lusk, and it's directed by Mary. Starring Rachel Flynn, Lauren Lim Jackson, Melissa Lusk, and Diana Oh. Tickets available here.

Inside a house, a house in a series of houses on a fraternity row, a house in which DVDs serve as coasters and drool stains the sofa, live three roommates far past their college days. A thousand girlfriends come and gone, a thousand drinks downed, a thousand parties crashed–every night the same, until now. There’s a party tonight, but it is not the blaring music that makes sleep impossible. Tonight, these bachelors will understand what their choices have really gotten them.
